Wagner’s great epic condensed into two hours – compact, humorous and very exciting! Marionettes encounter actors and take us into a time tunnel of mythological entanglements.

For the first time in its history the Salzburg Marionette Theatre staged works by Richard Wagner. A compressed version of The Ring of the Nibelung was premiered in cooperation with the Salzburg State Theatre. The staged version guides the spectator in a little more than two hours through Wagner’s world of the Ring and shows the best known scenes through unrivalled puppetry of the Salzburg Marionettes. In a very clear manner the audience will be led through Wagner’s epos, the simple form will also make it easily accessible for Wagner beginners or a younger public. More than that, the evening will give the Wagner enthusiast plenty of pleasure and musically-involving hours, taking in as it does Sir
Georg Solti’s acclaimed recordings of the operas.
